German tourism made €1,252m profit last year in the province.

The Great Challenge is to be fully presented in front of German public at an event which is going to be celebrated at the fair.

This presentation at ITB is a way to sign two promotion agreements with important international groups.

More than 30,000 visits to the website after its opening last Monday.

The natural beauty spot, which was refurbished thanks to the County Council investment of 5.5m euros, is opening to visitors next Saturday, on March 28th.

Tickets are free but it is compulsory to book them. Six hundred tickets per day are to be printed for a full route, between King’s Chair and the train station, which is 8.5 kilometres long.

Mr Bendodo underlines that this is active tourism which has recovered an internationally famous attraction spot after having invested €5.5m.

This is a pilot project, which will be extended progressively, and is meant to reinforce financial power of the municipalities from the area.

This innovative device was made by Sunrise Gridfree Company, and it was supported by the County Council and the Town Council of Málaga.

Ardales, Álora, Antequera and Abdalajís Valley will hand over the management of the infrastructure to the above governmental body until it is put in a public tender.

Elías Bendodo stresses the agreement between the provincial government, the town councils, the Andalusian and Spanish government that made this project real.

The entrance is free but there is to obtain a ticket, and necessary measures will be taken to protect the environment and visitors.
